Hi friends,
Hot topics and guests on the livestream happening NOW. Tune in HERE.
Ben Weiss, reporter at Fortune on his viral North Korean hacker piece.
The founder of PixieChess which is a game that I can only describe as more complex chess where you bet money.
The founders of DangerTesting the original and only aura-preserving vibecoders IMO.
Love,
The Boys

We did a big collab with Cash App for Bitcoin day.
The model that’s too dangerous to ship. Anthropic's new AI model “Mythos” is so powerful, so smart, and so good at finding security flaws that they won't release it publicly. It was announced Tuesday (after escaping containment and surprising a dev during a picnic) as a preview for select big tech and cybersecurity firms only, in an effort to ensure it doesn’t get used to hack the power grid. In just weeks of testing, Mythos found thousands of critical, previously unknown bugs across every major OS and browser, some of which had been sitting there undetected for decades. No public release planned. Folks are spiraling. “Elizabeth Holmes” is telling us to delete our bookmarks. Babe, I think it’s going to take more than that!!!!!!
Quick Hits.
Crypto-backed mortgages are here. You can finally use your bitcoin holdings as collateral for your home loan without having to first liquidate it!
The New Yorker dropped an 18-month Ronan Farrow investigation into Sam Altman based on 100+ interviews and private documents. Some former colleagues used words like "sociopath" and "unconstrained by truth."
Citrini Research sent an analyst to the Strait of Hormuz with $15K in cash, recording sunglasses, and Zyn. He was detained by the coast guard and came back with a report that the strait was never fully closed, and markets may be overpricing the disruption. Monitoring the situation guys have a new patron saint.
Solana exchange Drift lost $285 million in 12 minutes. A team of North Korean hackers spent six months social engineering their way in to the org via IRL exploits including conference meetups in multiple countries. They deposited over $1M of their own money to build trust and then siphoned the funds. An IRL, long con.
NY Times published a big Satoshi story this morning. John Carreyrou (the Theranos whistleblower) spent a year building the case that Adam Back, a British cryptographer, is Satoshi Nakamoto. Crypto Twitter's verdict so far: circumstantial at best, irresponsible at worst. Adam’s response: Wrong actually. Team Boys Club:
